Congratulations to the One Agilent team in Singapore and OFS Instrument Manufacturing team in Singapore for being recognized as a lighthouse. The journey had been eye opening, and the many industry experts that we’ve interacted in the process generated insights for further innovation in the near future. 

Thank you Federico Torti and Elif Gurbuz Ersoy for making this journey a wonderful learning experience!




Agilent has established a School of Digital Innovation at its Singapore facility, said McMullen, which has helped the workforce to become "strong digital thinkers".


"We offer courses on data analytics and programming languages, and provide a formal certification programme to become a digital expert. We have engaging digital educational events for employees to network and exchange ideas, as well as fun activities such as digital carnivals roadshows and hackathon. We're working hard to innovate, but at the same time, we're trying to have fun while we do it."


"We're all driven by this goal to build a factory of the future. In that factory, everyone has a role and they can see the results. It's very inspiring to actually be part of that."
